I’ve been taking care of my sick little one all week and except for putting a few vintage pieces in the online shop, I haven’t really been able to accomplish too much work wise. So I thought I would share the makeover of a pretty little vintage dresser that I completed a few weeks ago. […]

It was a rainy day here yesterday and one of my little ones was home sick with pneumonia, so it just seemed like a homemade chicken noodle soup kind of day. I hope you don’t mind me stepping away from the home decor and furniture makeovers for a moment and sharing with you one of […]

Well, I really wish I could name this post, “A Longing Fulfilled”, but I need to be honest here, what I’ve been hoping for just hasn’t happened yet. I’ve been glancing through the online realtor sites in our area for over a year now. Occasionally something will peak my interest and I’ll be drawn to […]

Everyone loves a good before and after, so today I want to share my latest furniture flip with you. Sometimes you just stumble upon that perfect furniture piece, you brake out in a grin, the adrenaline surges and then you flip over the price tag.

I have been having a pretty productive week. On Monday the kids had off from school for the Memorial Day Holiday so I hired two high schoolers to tag along with me to the barn and get some projects done. My cousin’s son and my husband moved the big pieces that didn’t sell out of […]

A few months ago on one of my weekly shopping outings I spotted an antique settee with good bones but ugly and stained velvet fabric. I’m not even sure what to call the color of the fabric, something in the pink family. I knew this was a fixer upper, but I really didn’t know what […]

When I was in my twenties, newly married with a new career in broadcasting, I thought I was an expert in multi-tasking, especially when I compared myself to my husband. Let’s just say I had an inflated view of myself. Fast forward twenty years and I am now juggling house work, three kids schedules, a […]

As I write today, I am nestled in my blue floral wing chair next to the fireplace in the family room. There is a light snow falling which should reach nearly 3 feet in accumulation by tomorrow evening. There is something very settling about knowing that you don’t need to run out anywhere. These days […]
